1. Community Garage Sale, Saturday, October 5,
7:45 AM – 2:30 PM. To direct customers to your sale, we recommend you put
signs from Shannon Ridge Dr all the way to your house, especially if you live on
a side road. When your sale ends, please dispose of all signs, pick up
litter your customers may have left on the roadsides, and put away all unsold
items. If it rains on October 5 you can take your chances, but our ad will
list Saturday, October 19 as our alternate date.

3. Burn ban reinstated. The Wilson County
commissioners reinstated the burn ban. Always contact the Sheriff’s
Department, 830-393-2535, for the latest restrictions on burning.
Sometimes, immediately after a rain, the county allows burning for a few hours.

4. Many thanks to all who help keep Shannon
Ridge such an attractive and peaceful neighborhood especially those who have
“adopted” portions of our roadsides and empty lots to keep them free of litter
and other refuse.

1. Traffic light at HWY 181. For
several years we have requested a traffic light at the very dangerous
intersection of Shannon Ridge Dr and HWY 181. We have good news to report.
According to Eduardo Villalon, TXDOT Traffic Engineer, preliminary work will
begin soon, and the project should be completed by early October. If you
have any questions, please contact him:Eduardo.Villalon@txdot.gov,
210-615-6308.

2. Community Garage Sale. The next garage sale will be on
Saturday, October 5, 7:45 AM – 2:30 PM.

3. School bus safety. When you approach a school bus, please
slow down and be prepared to stop. Some drivers speed up to pass which is
very dangerous for our kids.

4. Q & A: Firearms.

Q: Can residents shoot their guns in our neighborhood?

A: The law and the restrictions prohibit the use of firearms in
our subdivision.
